Five original ways to cool off in the heat |
Posted: May 16, 2022 |
Let me go to Antarctica! This summer the weather is like "a passionate woman - a poet's dream" - hot, ardent and very changeable. Forecasters predict that until September the thermometer will more than once exceed the mark of 30 ° C. It is possible that you have already tried a lot of options to freshen up. We offer you some more original and true ways to cool the body and return the mood spoiled by the heat. The correspondent tested their effectiveness on her own experience. 1 Cryosauna I wrote about the benefits of this procedure more than once from the words of doctors, but somehow I didn’t have a chance to experience it myself. The idea to plunge into the "space cold" arose only due to the exhausting heat. TWO AND A HALF MINUTES SPENDED AT -170 C TEMPERATURE AS A BEGINNER IS A GREAT RESULT 2 Food is cold, liquid The idea of ??cooling off in the heat by eating or drinking something icy cold isn't exactly new. Besides, it's dangerous. I still remember that misted bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, which I took with me two years ago on the road out of town. To have a sore throat when it is over thirty on the street is a bad thing! .. And doctors warn: it is not recommended to drink too cold drinks and food in the heat. A sharp drop in temperature when swallowing can lead to spasm of the vocal folds (hoarseness is guaranteed). Thus, you can also catch a cold, picking up a whole bunch, from the common cold to pneumonia. Ice cocktails, etc. can “come back” with rather unpleasant sensations in the stomach. This concerns, first of all, people with a sick or so-called sensitive stomach. According to the observations of physicians, summer exacerbations of rheumatism, gout, and bladder diseases often occur precisely among those who like to drink cold. To cope with the overwhelming desire to quench your thirst too often, in hot weather, try to drink water that is close to body temperature. This will help the liquid to be better absorbed and thereby quench your thirst faster. The optimum drinking temperature is between 18°C ??(room temperature) and 45°C (slightly warm). As for food, then you should not go to extremes (for example, eat ice cream in buckets). Summer is salad time! 3 Glacier in cosmetic bag You can buy thermal water - it is supposedly extracted directly from their thermal springs - geysers. Such cosmetic water not only cools the face. It is good to lay down makeup in an even layer, which then “does not flow” in the heat. The only catch is the price of the product. You can “ennoble” your daily face or body cream with coolness (it is desirable that it contains calogen or marine elastin). To do this, the specialist advises adding a few drops of lemon or menthol oils to the cream (you can buy them at any pharmacy). But the main thing in the heat is not to forget sunscreen. Creams with UV filters also give a cooling effect. 4 Go to the pool Cool water is the most traditional and, by the way, trouble-free way to cool the body. According to scientists, a person can absorb water not only through drinking, but also through the skin. So bathing often is good. But if you live on some 12th floor, and even on the sunny side, and even in a panel house, then on a hot summer day even five showers are of little use. We need to look for something more convincing. Arguing with a balneologist, of course, makes no sense. But in my opinion, the most powerful cooling effect is provided by a popular water procedure, which is not included in the above list. This is Charcot's shower. It is prescribed, as a rule, to overweight people as an anti-cellulite massage. Muscle tone and cooling is provided not only by the contrast of water temperature - cool-cold - but also by the power of the jet from a special water cannon, with which the nurse shoots you. 5 Clothes - "refrigerator" Can you imagine what it's like for people living in countries with much warmer climates? And especially not local, but visitors? For example, to protect their military in Iraq, scientists at the University of Portsmouth (USA) have developed a special uniform. The engineers and researchers were given the task of creating “refrigerator” clothing that could protect against the heat. Tanks with air and water are sewn into its lining, as well as a special paraffin under the lining, which turns into a liquid from the heat and thereby cools the body. It is unlikely that any of us will be able to get such a form for personal use. But everyone can remember what clothes can not be worn in the heat, so as not to overheat. Of course, to abandon synthetics, to give preference to clothes made from natural fabrics - linen, chintz, etc. Do not wear tight belts and belts that impair blood circulation. It is advisable for women to forget about high heels for a while, this will help to avoid swelling of the legs. Cover your head with a hat or use a sun umbrella. You can also use the best cooling vest. The stylist's advice made me think again and take out of the closet a white linen tunic with wide long sleeves, which I bought last year especially for the heat. And this year, for some reason, she kept putting it aside, obviously, the subconscious worked: once with sleeves, it will be hot. Well, what can I say? .. Reasons to complain about the shortcomings of the deodorant has really become less. But in urban transport, it is still difficult to do without a fan. I just want to put my face under the fan next to the sitting madam and say: “wave at me, wave ...”
